AUU Gold79 Mines Ltd

Aura Silver Resources Inc. ("Aura Silver" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AUU) 
is pleased to announce that it has completed an extensive soil sampling survey
on its 72% owned East Taviche property in Oaxaca Mexico. The purpose of this
program is to enhance our knowledge of the geology and geochemical expression of
the Company's Higo Blanco jasperoid structure in order to expand the existing
resource and find additional, buried precious metal targets. In addition,
preliminary geological reconnaissance and rock sampling were conducted in the
northern end of the East Taviche concession (East Taviche North) to assess the
potential for the continuation of vein structures, some of which were previously
identified on an adjacent property


Over 151 soil samples were collected over the 6.5 kilometre by 1.7 kilometre
Higo Blanco jasperoid complex which, some years earlier was found to contain
high grade silver and low grade gold (less than 2.0 g/t) over wide intervals.
Aura Silver intends to perform both organic and inorganic geochemical work to
further enhance our current data base which contains extensive geophysical and
geochemical results from past campaigns. The Company then plans to amalgamate
all data sources in order to enhance our understanding of the sources of the
silver and gold drill intercepts from previous campaigns.


At East Taviche North, several veins and vein swarms along with associated stock
works have been identified and traced for approximately 1.2 km. These veins may
represent the possible extension of a gold/silver resource from an adjacent
property held by Arco Resources Corp. The veins generally consist of
quartz-calcite with minor sulphides and range in width from 30 cm to over 2.5 m.
The host rocks consist of andesite with minor outcroppings of volcanic sediments
and some "islands" of limestone. Limited sampling has been done and assays are
not yet available. Little is known about these veins as well as those of the
adjacent concession. Several "historic" pits and at least one shaft with a
good-sized waste dump, which was also sampled, were observed in the area. It is
planned that more mapping, sampling and trenching be conducted in this area in
the future. 


Aura Silver CEO Robert Boaz states, "This recently completed program will add
significant value to our exploration strategy as it enhances the knowledge we
already have regarding our current 43-101 resource at Higo Blanco. The fact that
we have identified a potential new silver / gold target at the East Taviche
North property is positive since it seems to be an extension of an established
resource just east of our property".


Assaying of rock samples from this program will be completed by Activation Labs
through their office in Zacatecas, Mexico. These rock samples will be analyzed
for gold using a 30g fire assay with AA finish while silver will be analyzed
using a four acid "near total" digestion multi-element package. The soil samples
will be analyzed by Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbons (SGH) at Activation
Labs, Ancaster, Ontario offices. 


Mr. Patrick Toth, B.Sc., P.Geo., a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101,
conducted and supervised the sampling program and has reviewed and approved the
contents of this press release.
